Last Updated :
22 Apr, 2020
In this article we will see how we can retrieve the data of movie using its movie ID, movie id is the unique id given to each movie by IMDb. We can use search_movie
method to search the movies by their name but it gives many movies as they have same names therefore retrieving a movie by its id is a better option.
In order to search a movie by its id we use get_movie
method.
Syntax : imdb_object.get_movie(id)
Argument : It takes string as argument which is movie id
Return : It returns imdb Movie object.
Below is the implementation.
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
code = "1187043"
search = ia.get_movie(code)
print (search)
|
Output :
3 Idiots
Another example
import imdb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
code = "4434004"
search = ia.get_movie(code)
print (search)
|
Output :
Udta Punjab
